You can call my office at 1-239-628-3522. If you can't reach me there, call my cell phone number at 239-633-5851. Remember that fishing guides don't have secretaries. If I am on the water you will reach my answering service. Email is the PREFERRED method of communication. If you E-Mail it will sit in my box until I return and get the computer fired up. Please leave your name, a number where you can be reached, the size of your party, and the dates you have available to fish. Please, be patient, allow time for me to return your call or email. I will check the tides, and recommend the best days to insure your success. Then I will contact you. Both your call and you patience will be appreciated.

IMPORTANT! Remember, that once you have notified me that you want to book a date, you will receive a CONFIRMATION from me via email (phone, if no email) that your day is booked, and a request for a DEPOSIT to hold the day. If you don't receive a confirmation, you ARE NOT confirmed. If I don't receive your deposit, I will not be waiting on you at the ramp come fishing day. ALL customers must make a deposit of at least $225.00 to insure that we are both at the ramp and ready to fish on your chosen day.

I mention confirmations and deposits because, although email failures are rare, they do occur, especially in this world of spam/antispam we live in. Something as simple as forgetting to put a subject on your email, can land your email in the spam basket. Also, often telephone messages are so poor in quality that I can not decipher them. This can occur because of poor cellphone transmission, bad telephone lines, speaking too fast, or not talking directly into your phone.

So, once you send me a confirmation that you want to fish on a given date, make sure you receive a final confirmation from me. If it is not forthcoming, please follow up to find out why.

My address for deposit is:
  Capt. Butch Rickey
  11520 E. Palm Drive
  Ft. Myers, FL 33908
